Duck Breast Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Duck

   Score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Duck

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. 3

   Prepare the Cabbage and Celery Root

   In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the diced celery root for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Add the sliced cabbage and juniper berries, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is wilted.

4. 4

   Add Stock

   Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the duck breast and serve it over the sautéed cabbage and celery root mixture.
